Hi

Any suggestions as to how I can make a related field a required field?

Specifically Campaigns in Leads as a way of ensuring that the sales team always include a campaign

You can try this:

Find out the name of the relate field and customize the below for your requirements (I’ll use “campaign_name” as sample):

Create a file in /custom/Extensions/modules/Leads/Ext/Vardefs/ and name it something relevant, e.g. “campaign_name.php” and populate it with the following:

<?php
$dictionary['Leads']['fields']['campaign_name']['required'] = true;

Be sure to save this with appropriate permissions, then run a Repair and Rebuild.

Thanks,
